It's like telling the box scores of a game.
Now when I saw the report on TV about the school district, I thought they were morons....simply put.
Sometimes what happens leads to an opinion.
Faux has been biased and ridiculously so. They actually make the effort to spin shit and it's really comical. No really.....
What if I said "Fox isn't biased in my opinion?" That would make me a moron,right?
What if I said "Keith Olbermann is?"
What if I said anything on Fox news would be biased in your opinion.
Why is that?
If you thought the same way the reporters on Fox did you wouldn't call them biased would you?
If you were a big fan of Olbermann(who by the way has his degree in sports journalism)
you would also say he is not biased.
Of course I would. One can see bias if it's written on paper. It has shit to do with like or dislike. I'll throw a liberal under the bus in a minute.
See there's a difference between a person with a strong mind and a sheep. I can like what someone is saying and still know they are biased. I like some of stances Bill O' Reilly has on many issues.
If you know of someone who simply reports the news without some sort of remark,whether its tonal,or facial,or whatever,than let me know.
News reporting has become completely politically motivated.
The news channels are into an agenda now.
Your attempt to be "independent" is noted.
Unfortunately you have not convinced me your thoughts are.
Your ideas are biased by the news you watch...no?
Why is that?
I'll tell you this. Many times if I hear about a story second hand, the person telling me wll inject their own bias in their voice and facial expression. I listen to the facts and may not feel the same way. Look at the organ donor game show thread. It was presented as if it was so disgusting. Needless to say I was not as disgusted as everyone else in the thread. Yeah I'm one independent mofo. I'm black yet am not a "black defender" unless it's warranted. I like liberal and conservative ideals. Pro-choice/Anti gay marriage/Pro-gun ownership but pro gun control/anti-Iraq war/pro-welfare reform/pro-immigration reform/pro-business/pro-affirmative action with more rules.......there's more but I go into that another time.
It's a very simple concept.
Your thoughts are only a reflection of other peoples input.
You filter which ones you chose to use to represent your opinion..when its not really an opinion at all.
Tell me something you know(other than personal) that someone didn't know before you did.
We are all filtered all the time.
